Here is an excerpt from article. Delete if this is not allowed.
Loyd recently spoke with Jojo Gentry, the Sports Director at WEVV (Fox44/CBS44), to discuss the case against Ole Miss.
“It is as close to the death penalty as you can get without that actually happen,” Loyd said. “Coach Farrar has been questioned extensively, in fact, five times by the NCAA about those allegations.”
According to Loyd, Ole Miss is in this situation after failing to follow the NCAA’s rules and is concerned his client has become singled out by the school as a possible scapegoat for the many alleged violations.
“To use the excuse that everyone else is doing it, that’s just not a good defense,” Loyd continued. “That’s not a good reason. That’s not an acceptable reason. Some of these rules, you wish they weren’t there but the fact of the matter is they are — and they’ve got to be enforced, and they’ve got to be followed. And if you don’t, you’ll find yourself in the position the University of Mississippi athletic department has found itself.”
According to Gentry, Ole Miss has submitted its response to the NCAA’s latest notice of allegations last week. The school’s response is expected to be released to the public sometime this week.

That is correct. I thought that was a given. I will post at a 1st grade reading level for some from now on
Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.

He thinks the NCAA won't believe Barney because Ole Miss is painting him to be a lying, crazy, rouge cheating coach. And for some explicable reason, the NCAA will believe OM!?! He thinks the NCAA can't see the whole picture:
1) Barney lied to protect OM
2) OM back stabs Barney
3) Barney tells the truth
4) NCAA believes Barney

No, Barney isn't getting ALL the blame. All the blame will go to Hugh Freeze and their athletic dept that hired him and had two other programs on probation too. Bro you have been compromised by the Russians.
Death penalty or bust!!!***

Ironic that the article states its the largest violations case in 30 years. SMU received the death penalty in Feb 1987. I'm not saying that they will get the death penalty but to be largest case since the death penalty at SMU says something.

Barney knows where bodies are buried. He can provide missing links and connect dots. After Barney fills in a couple of holes for the NCAA they'll believe every word that comes out of his mouth.

The NCAA will credit Barneys testimony bc the want to-they know OM is dirty and will use every bit of evidence they can to support the very harsh penalties they are about to hand down.
You might as well be telling 9 year old me that there is no Santa Claus. In my world, school is out, Mom has the Christmas decorations up, she is baking cookies, and the anticipation of whether I will get the new 3 speed Schwinn with the banana seat or the Daisey pump pellet gun with the 4x optical sight is the only thing I am thinking about.

And immunity may have already been used to confirm what they got on Barney. He would just be admitting to what they already knew.
The other thing in the article that I found interesting was about the $13-15,000 given to a student athlete COMMITTED to another school. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Leo never committed to us until signing day. That sounds a lot like Scarborough to me. I could be wrong though.
that's leo when he was committed to bama. Scarborough isnt involved in this from all accounts

Problem is, santa will bring you a great gift and you'll be upset because it ain't the bike or pellet gun, and people will laugh at you and say you have no credibility bc you didn't get the bike or gun

IYOK, I don't think I've heard your take on all of this. If so, I have forgotten. So give it up.
-
It's as close to the death penalty as you can get
-
Like I said. Stop with death penalty posts and be happy about the harsh penalties about to come down.
-
The NCAA isnt going to hand out the death penalty again. SMU never recovered. But they will make an example out of OM. They are up shit creek with no paddle

To be fair, he said the allegations are as close to the death penalty as you can get. No one knows the penalties yet.

I'm sure the NCAA has numerous leads on infractions where they were just missing one or two pieces of the puzzle before they could actually list them as an allegation. And the way the NCAA keeps things silent, most likely no one knows that they were working on those leads. If Barney provides them with those missing pieces, they will not only believe what he has to say, but quit possibly have enough to, dare I say, have enough to start another NOA....at that point will just depend on how far they want to bury them.

The time for that has come and gone. He has already given his interviews with the investigators and his response to the NOA. What is left is the COI meeting and penalty phase.
